Sandy is a legend in the automotive engineering industry. Companies pay him dumb money to tear down their vehicles to find things wrong with their current builds. Unlike many of his contemporaries, he has embraced EV's and loves them. I am sure RJ, at some point during his doctorate work...
I have received nothing but positive reactions from people. I still get looks from people and when those people walk up to the car, they have nothing but compliments and positive questions.
My neighbor though was less than impressed. He popped his head of his house when my R1T was being...
As a long time Munro fan, that's hard to watch. Munro has completely lost his objectvity fastball when it comes to the environment.
RJ handled the Munro pseudosciece with grace and diplomacy but you could tell he was cringing on the inside.
I don't know who this is or why his opinion matters but he's flat out wrong on just about every level (never mind the massive amount of typos in his diatribe).

You let them have the vehicle. Assuming you're being car jacked, they already have the drop on you. You're at such a tactical disadvantage at that point, your best bet to survive is to comply. That's why we all have insurance. Yes, the vehicle can be...

we have the data straight from the proverbial horses mouth.
all of the legacy auto makers are on record saying EV sales are slowing down. Elon, during his last earnings call, said the same thing.
RJ will most likely say the same for their next earnings call.
If you want to chew through tires fast, use conserve as your day to day mode.
For optimum battery and tire health and still get decent range use all-purpose, high regen and lay off the juice pedal.
My Guide has told me several times the bands are only going to LE owners and once they have them, they're gone. They were never going to release them to anyone else.
Not sure why some here are holding Rivians feet to the fire for something when they said they wouldn't expand who gets them.
